"Billie Holiday deserves a biography in which her musicianship
isn't overshadowed by the tragic events of her life. O'Meally has
written that book," says "Entertainment Weekly" about this
absorbing and authoritative account of the greatest jazz singer in
history. O'Meally emphasizes Holiday's artistry and training rather
than her personal miseries, and he uses voluminous archival
material to correct common myths about Holiday. Chronicling her
rigorous musical apprenticeship in Baltimore, her reception in New
York by Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington, and her work with various
musicians, particularly Lester Young, "Lady Day" is an impassioned
testament to Holiday's genius that confirms her place in American
jazz.
